This workshop will provide information to young investigators as to how to deal with practical issues during career development with the topics including job search, grant writing, and publication. It will help graduate students and early-stage researchers to build a proper personal network for sharing their experiences and struggles, as well as obtaining practical and realistic skills. A panel discussion will be followed by an open dialogue between panels and the floor. We welcome young neuroscientists to this workshop. Please fill out this form by August 25 to participate in this exciting session.
